Andrew Blickenderfer (acoustic bass) has performed with a variety of ensembles for CDs, soundtracks, radio, clubs, and concert halls across North America. His work often explores the crossroads of traditional music from around the world with improvisational, jazz, and classical music forms. In addition to his fine bass work with Andromeda, he plays cello, violin, mandolin, and percussion with the quintet HourGlass. When he and his family are not tripping over the eleven instruments in the house, Mr. Blickenderfer studies tabla and enjoys teaching.
